About the problem we had yesterday on the map "Lego Land", here is the final decision I write you.

Just before, I want tothank VERY MUCH all Admins of DoS Endurance, DoS and friends, for their reactivity and their participation for resolving this problem, and I salute them for their active and engaged implication about the good way for our competition.You must know that their own feelings is so large that all differents players ones I could see from yesterday night (believe me, I saw many !), they're also divided on.

So, the problem concerns the last part of the map, the last jump on the block before the 2 last turns before the finish, where we had to jump on the block, some players have jumped on the dirt, some others have not jumped and passed on the right side.

In our tradition, for players who know the DoS team, we are a very opened and funny family, until we meet a problem as a cut ... there, it's simply another character ! For whose who can remember, from old editions, a simply cut or an attempt one had as answer a direct ban of the player(s) without any more explanation, whatever his level or his fame ... We had so some criticals about it.Here, the problem is more complexe, so we had from yesterday an internal concertation, I needed enough time to have a good analyse for a wise and a just decision.

When we've tested the map, we don't have, I don't have, recognize this way as a cut possibility, passing on the side, as I tested it - I'm not so a pro cutter - but if I have had any doubt about it, I should have asked to the mapper to change it, or add a cp on the block for example.

Some mappers can say you it, I always contact them when I have any doubt about a cut possibility, or pannels missing ... we always try to work with them for the best security and the best visibility of the map.If some players have taken this right way conscioulsly as a cut, others (many) have followed them without bad thinking about it, it can be clearly seen from the replays I could yet study, from any server.I had too 2 testimonies saying me they've yet met a similar situation of block on another competition and then any trouble about it .... I've taken this information as a more one, on a secund level, I note it.

Clearly, I have too a responsability about this passage, because after tests, I've accepted it as it is, knowing too that during the race, many players have run on the right side.

I stay myself on the base spirit as the HARD one of DoS - as Flemming - for a direct and uncontested punishment about any cut, but I must too take into account the ambiguity of this passage, in it form and in the facts realized by many players.

There's not a divine solution, I must say that "the doubt's benefice" (french expression) wins at 50,1%

Then, my decision is to cancel all results from this 5th race !

For keeping the calculation of the best 7 results for the final ranking, we add a date more on the Tuesday May 5th for another race at 21:30.It means for us a work more, not a problem finally if it can be a positive solution.

We won't play again on the map of Jack, and I want to precise about it that this problem doesn't cancel the quality and the interest of his map, I hope you had pleasure to run on it anyway.

If some players have taken this rigt side on the block consciously as a cut,they can consider themselves as "survivors" on DoS Endurance .... we don't use to be "fragile" about a subject as cut and we'll be VERY vigilant about you ...If some players have taken this right side with no bad thinking and just following ...that's the same answer !

For all others, as Lerny I could follow in direct yesterday, who have run a nice race, and running ON the block everytime (with a pure good time ^^) I just can only congrat you all more, and present to you all our sincere excuses about this problem ...This experience will give us to work better again with mappers for next maps.

Finally, all the maps we'll play until the end won't have any doubt about the circuit ... it means there won't have anymore any discussion about it if one cut or on attempt of cut is seen.

Just remember :

- present yourself with your national avatar (or kick)- no chat no horn from the beginning of the race until the last player has finished- cut or attempt of cut = BAN

Stay on the lines you'll have only pleasure !

Have a nice continuation and Good Luck to all on Edition VIII.

MigDoS Team.
